change of shimmer

Chessex has changed the shimmer of the dice over the years. The reason for this is that the powder was no longer available from the manufacturer.
Update: since spring 2016 they started to change. Source: Chessex.
The powder was banned in Germany because it is used for security features of banknotes.
